ENCLOSURES:
The disorganized distribution of food to the homeless population has led to an intense
dilemma in the Downtown area. Several social service providers as well as religious and
civic organizations distribute edibles to the homeless population in the Downtown area
during the day and early evening hours. I applaud their effort and generosity. However,
their distribution is also the basis for an extremely high volume of litter that is creating a
j burden, and unacceptable unsanitary conditions for the merchants, workers, and residents
of the Downtown area. Therefore, we must consider offering those well meaning
organization a positive alternative for the distribution of edibles. Those food distributors
must be directed to feed in a specified area during a specified period of time.
